    IS JOHN McCAIN MENTALLY FIT TO BE PRESIDENT?

    By VegasGurl  |  Posted November 3, 2008  |  Chantilly, Virginia
     
    Reporting from the Washington, DC area... Is John McCain mentally fit to be the President and run the country? The treatment of his first wife, picking Sarah Palin and his resulting behavior thereafterincluding the planting of "Joe The Plumber" gimmick are but a few obvious signs that something is terribly wrong. Even his close asssociates are wondering about his frame of mind. "What McCain's promoters have carefully edited out of their McCain-for-president equation is his post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Department of Defense psychiatrists have evaluated McCain for PTSD several times, the results of which remain locked by privacy laws." "PTSD can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which physical harm occurred or was threatened. U.S. government studies have concluded that former POWs "may remain embroiled in a harsh psychological battle with themselves for decades after returning home." "An outcome of PTSD is a subtle web of personal problems including difficulty in controlling intense emotions such as anger and an inability to function well under stress."
